Hillcrest Elementary School

Attention incoming Kindergarten families.

Hillcrest students experienced the solar eclipse today! A special thanks to Rep Gregg Johnson and the Illinois Optometric Association, John Deere, Earth Works Landscaping, and the Hillcrest PTA who all sponsored the special glasses for our students so they could view the eclipse.

REMINDER: -Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 9th is an early dismissal day. Elementary schools will dismiss at 11:30am, Glenview will dismiss at 10:55am. -There is NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, April 10th.

Congratulations to our lunchroom and playground staff on a job well done. These individuals run a smooth cafeteria and lunch recess for our students. The playground monitors have done a fabulous job learning systems and routines. These individuals have built positive relationships with our students, and they help our students build conflict resolution skills while on the playground. Our playground aides have attended professional development (when they didn't have to) to learn how to better help our kids. We are lucky to have you as part of our Hillcrest school family. #EMSD37Pride

Dear Families, This year in order to update and refresh student devices, we will be collecting Chromebooks from all students currently enrolled in Kindergarten through 4th grade. We will begin collection on Monday, May 13th and will be collecting the device, charger and stylus. Beginning on May 13th, to help with the collection, students will no longer be able to take the devices home. During the summer, the devices will be cleaned, refreshed, repaired as needed and updated. Please be sure to send the device itself and any accessories (charger, stylus) to school on May 13th. If your child is attending any of the programming hosted by EMSD over the summer, each program will have a set of devices that students will use during that program. If your student will not be in the district next year, please give this information to the teacher. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact us at 309-865-6946. EMSD Department of Technology Services

We are counting down the days until the solar eclipse on April 8. Our 1st-4th grade students have the opportunity to watch the solar eclipse with approved glasses to protect their eyes. Students may only watch the solar eclipse with a signed parent permission slip. Be sure to get the permission slip turned in next week.

Today is the end of 3rd Quarter.
